ZLIB DATA COMPRESSION LIBRARY |
||||
|
||||
zlib 1.2.4 is a general purpose data compression library. All the code is |
||||
thread safe. The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFCs |
||||
(Request for Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the files |
||||
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1950.txt (zlib format), rfc1951.txt (deflate format) |
||||
and rfc1952.txt (gzip format). |
||||
|
||||
All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h |
||||
(volunteer to write man pages welcome, contact zlib@gzip.org). Two compiled |
||||
examples are distributed in this package, example and minigzip. The example_d |
||||
and minigzip_d flavors validate that the zlib1.dll file is working correctly. |
||||
|
||||
Questions about zlib should be sent to <zlib@gzip.org>. The zlib home page |
||||
is http://zlib.net/ . Before reporting a problem, please check this site to |
||||
verify that you have the latest version of zlib; otherwise get the latest |
||||
version and check whether the problem still exists or not. |
||||
|
||||
PLEASE read DLL_FAQ.txt, and the the zlib FAQ http://zlib.net/zlib_faq.html |
||||
before asking for help. |

Manifest: |

The package zlib-1.2.4-win32-x86.zip contains the following files: |

||||
|
||||
example.exe A statically-bound example (using zlib.lib, not the dll) |
||||
example.pdb Symbolic information for debugging example.exe |
||||
|
||||
example_d.exe A zlib1.dll bound example (using zdll.lib) |
||||
example_d.pdb Symbolic information for debugging example_d.exe |
||||
|
||||
minigzip.exe A statically-bound test program (using zlib.lib, not the dll) |
||||
minigzip.pdb Symbolic information for debugging minigzip.exe |
||||
|
||||
minigzip_d.exe A zlib1.dll bound test program (using zdll.lib) |
||||
minigzip_d.pdb Symbolic information for debugging minigzip_d.exe |
||||
|
||||
zlib.h Install these files into the compilers' INCLUDE path to |
||||
zconf.h compile programs which use zlib.lib or zdll.lib |
||||
|
||||
zdll.lib Install these files into the compilers' LIB path if linking |
||||
zdll.exp a compiled program to the zlib1.dll binary |
||||
|
||||
zlib.lib Install these files into the compilers' LIB path if linking |
||||
zlib.pdb a compiled program to the zlib1.dll binary (zlib.pdb ensures |
||||
that the resulting program may be debugged) |
||||
|
||||
zlib1.dll Install this binary shared library into the system PATH, or |
||||
the program's runtime directory (where the .exe resides) |
||||
zlib1.pdb Install in the same directory as zlib1.dll, in order to debug |
||||
an application crash using WinDbg or similar tools. |
||||
|
||||
All .pdb files above are entirely optional, but are very useful to a developer |
||||
attempting to diagnose program misbehavior or a crash. Many additional |
||||
important files for developers can be found in the zlib124.zip source package |
||||
available from http://zlib.net/ - review that package's README file for details. |

The deflate format used by zlib was defined by Phil Katz. The deflate and |
||||
zlib specifications were written by L. Peter Deutsch. Thanks to all the |
||||
people who reported problems and suggested various improvements in zlib; they |
||||
are too numerous to cite here. |
